Greetings Burdick Families!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As we wrap up another incredible year at Burdick School, I want to take a moment to look back, give thanks, and celebrate all that we’ve accomplished together.<\/div>\n
This year has been full of learning, laughter, and unforgettable moments. We were wowed by our students during the music concerts, cheered as baby chicks hatched in 4th grade, and were deeply inspired during our Black History Month Program with special guest speaker Ernestine Tina Martin Wyatt \u2014 the great-great-great-great niece of Harriet Tubman. From Pride Week to Spirit Days to overnight field trips, our school community came together in ways big and small to make this year truly special.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To our families \u2014 thank you for your unwavering support, encouragement, and partnership. To our amazing staff \u2014 your hard work, care, and dedication continue to make Burdick a place where students thrive. And to our students \u2014 thank you for being the heart of everything we do. You make this community vibrant, hopeful, and full of promise.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A huge\u00a0congratulations<\/span>\u00a0to our 8th graders on your graduation! We are so proud of you and excited for all that lies ahead. \ud83c\udf93<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wishing everyone a restful, fun-filled, and sunny summer break. See you in the fall! School will resume on\u00a0Tuesday, September 2, 2025 at 7:15 a.m.\u00a0<\/strong>\u2600\ufe0f<\/div>\n
